Pressing pliers YATO YT-2240, 180 mm, PP/TPR handles, black/red

YATO YT-2240 pressing pliers, 180 mm in length, are hand tools designed for controlled crimping and pressing operations. Constructed with a robust steel head and ergonomic dual-material handles made of polypropylene (PP) and thermoplastic rubber (TPR), these pliers provide mechanical strength and a comfortable, slip-resistant grip. The compact size and straightforward jaw geometry make the tool suitable for repetitive manual tasks in confined spaces.

Advantages

The combination of PP and TPR on the handles ensures secure handling and reduced hand fatigue during extended use. A durable forged head maintains jaw alignment and delivers consistent pressing force across cycles. The 180 mm length offers a balance between leverage and accessibility, enabling precise control in tight areas. The tool's black/red finish improves visibility in work environments and helps distinguish it from other hand tools.

Suitable for

• Electrical crimping and cable end pressing in installations and repairs
• Plumbing fixtures that require manual pressing of small fittings
• General workshop tasks such as securing small parts or light assembly
• Maintenance and service work where compact, repeatable pressing is required

Key specifications

• Total length: 180 mm
• Handle material: polypropylene (PP) with thermoplastic rubber (TPR) overlay
• Head material: forged steel for durability
• Finish: black and red coated handles for improved grip and visibility
• Operation: manual pressing/crimping action suitable for light to medium duty

How to use

Position the material to be pressed or crimped between the jaws and align it so the contact surfaces engage evenly. Hold the pliers by the PP/TPR handles and apply steady pressure until the desired crimp or press is achieved. Release the handles to open the jaws and remove the workpiece. For repeat operations, maintain consistent positioning to ensure uniform results.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the pliers before use for wear or damage to the jaws and handles. Use the tool within its intended manual capacity; avoid applying excessive force with extensions or power tools. Keep the jaws clean and free of debris to maintain proper contact and accuracy. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion and extend service life.
